Analyzing learning needs of Korean for business at a vocational school in Bandung
Abstract
Learning in vocational schools should have a different character from learning in high school, and should be more technical in nature, tailored to the needs of each major. This study aims to analyze the learning needs of Korean for Business at a vocational school in Bandung, based on the needs analysis theory. The analysis consists of necessities, lacks, and wants. This descriptive qualitative research employed a survey, interviews, and document studies as data collection techniques. The participants were 136 students majoring in Online Business and Marketing, one Korean language teacher at the school, and two employees from Korean companies. The results of the needs analysis show that Korean for Business is needed for majoring with work interests such as an interpreter. The students' shortcomings in learning Korean are the ability to listen, speak, and grammar. This is used as a reference in the analysis of needs to determine which needs are lacking for students. Korean for Business subjects are desired by the Department of Online Business and Marketing with a variety of desired learning methods and media, as well as Korean for Business materials related to Korean work and work culture.
